ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Have you ever noticed that our world is contaminating? But people don’t do anything for it. World’s population increases fast and in order to meet its needs technology must be developed.But these developments lead to reducing of natural resources and environmental pollution. We can classify environmental pollution in three groups which are air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution.
Air pollution is the most significant pollution in our world. Everyday we welcome to clean air but timely air is contaminated. Some of chemicals, biological materials, living organisms and humans are the main factors which contribute the air pollution. And volcanic eruptions, motor vehicle exhausts and factories are the others. Carbon dioxide gas is very effective in pollution. The health of a lot of people is affected from these chemical substances. People may have various health problems such as asthma, hearth and lung diseases. For example, in 1952 four thousands of people died in a few days due to the high concentration of pollution in London. People should attach filters to factories chimneys in order to prevent air pollution because people’s life is very important.
Water pollution is the second most important pollution. People can’t live without water because it is the main necessity for them. 70 % of our earth’s surface is covered with water but people don’t know its importance, they pollute it unconsciously. Water is polluted by a number of elements such as oils, plastics, pesticides which are harmful to both humans and animals. Because of ship’ ruins, our seas and oceans are contaminated. According to a research which made in 1999, there are a lot of water resources in our world but they are polluted. People may have some diseases like birth defects, cancers and genetic damages. If we don’t want to have these illnesses, we should take some precautions for water pollution.
Soil pollution is the least significant pollution in our world.Soil is very valuable substance. In order to form a palm of soil, 250 years are required so we should know its worth. Farmers use pesticides and chemicals to kill insects but they damage the soil. This damage remains for a long time. Chemical damage not only soil but also crops. Soil is contaminated by pesticides, dirty water , oil and dumping, industrial waste which are very harmful for soil. People are in a great risk due to the diseases caused by soil pollution. The diseases are headache, fatigue, depression…. We can decrease the risk of being ill by not using chemicals and pesticides in the soil.
In conclusion, we live without noticing the pollution in the world.We have the right of breathing the clean air, drinking clean water and eating healthy foods so nobody can hinder these rights.People immediately should take some dramatic precautions to prevent air,water and soil pollution.
This is a nice essay.
